In 1970 Raymond A. (Chip) Shiver and his father, Rex, established Shiver Security Systems, Inc. In the same year they acquired the Sonitrol franchises for Cincinnati and Dayton and became Shiver Security Systems, Inc. dba Sonitrol of SW Ohio. Upon his father's retirement, Chip Shiver became sole owner of the company.
Shiver Security's goal is to provide the most intelligent, effective, security solutions for both commercial and residential customers. Products include audio intrusion detection systems, access control systems, CCTV systems, fire detection systems, and external industrial monitroing functions. Services include sales and design, installation, local monitoring, and technical services.
Shiver Security Systems has doubled the size of its customer base and revenue since 1997. The company has been listed in "SDM Magazine" (Security Distributing & Marketing) as "Up and Comers" in the May 1997 issue and ranked among the top 100 companies in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and again in 2009.
A trend among many of the large security companies is to downsize by eliminating their local monitoring stations and they have gone to regionalization. However, Shiver Security maintains that local monitoring of security systems provides our customers with the peace of mind that their families, employees, and property are more efficiently protected.
Shiver Security Systems customers now number over 6,000 which includes third-party monitoring for several Sonitrol franchises outside the state of Ohio. Many of Shiver Security customers have been with the company over 30 years.
The enormous growth in customers created the necessity for Shiver Security to embark on an aggressive expansion project to accommodate the central monitoring station. The monitoring station is now four times its original size. In addition the number of employees increased with an additional 6 operators to man the expanded monitoring station that operates a 24/7 schedule. The monitoring station is a UL approved facility.
The company is continually upgrading its products to the latest state of the art equipment. The newest innovation is "Sonavision" that is capable of visually monitoring customers' premises that allows for true alarm verification. CCTV equipment is also of the highest quality providing clear video for apprehension and prosecution of intruders.
All businesses that purchase an integrated security system need and want a company that is knowledgable in system integration. Shiver Security Systems offers this to the customer by providing support, service, training and quality installation of the equipment. In addition Shiver Security Services provides local monitoring services and 24 hours service to all customers. Shiver Security thrives on customer satisfaction.
